“The Current Affairs allows listeners to really hear the full breadth of voices behind the website and print magazine Current Affairs. The episodes alternate from focusing on a single topic, such as their recent Meet the Presidential Candidate series, to others in which the hosts examine a combination of purely contemporary and historical issues. The round table format allows the hosts to joke with each other, as well as try to keep each other honest. The one problem with the podcast is the preponderance of lawyers among the hosts often skews their analyses to be overly legalistic. The hosts themselves are diverse in terms of gender and race, which often leads to productive pushback on each other’s universal pronouncements.
Rigorous but not boring, funny but not frivolous, the Current Affairs podcast is a great tool to sharpen your own analysis of the past and present.”
